How much does it cost to build a bridge over all the current interstates?

From the contractor's perspective? At least a dollar.

Less than you might think. Just extend all the interstate highways beyond their termini via unsigned multiplexes with existing interstates so they are all eventually concurrent with I-44 on the Will Rogers Turnpike, then the already-existing Will Rogers Archway will do the trick.

Total cost: a few hours' pay for whatever AASHTO secretary needs to revise all the interstate logs.

Some people would only build tunnels, so zero dollars for bridges.

The Owl's Interstate military forces have not yet made a move to establish a beachhead.

Since "interstate" technically means between states, that would suggest Canada build freeways whose entire purpose is to connect one US state to another. You'd think Canada would be polite enough to do this. For instance, they should spend the billions required to connect every border state to Alaska via a direct, interstate-quality freeway.  Additionally, they need to criss-cross Ontario and Quebec with freeways to directly connect both parts of Michigan with Ohio, New York and the New England states. 

Instead, they selfishly invest in roadways to mainly improve the lives of their own citizens.  How unneighborly!
